call me on Mon. and I can go over how to adjust it... It's really simple but you could "jack up" the chrome finish if you do it incorrectly. You need a thin 27mm or 1 1/16" open ended bicycle crank wrench. Or if you are careful regular open ended adjustable wrench

DEFINATELY do not do any adjustments with it installed on the car.. here's a link for adjustment instructions....

it's half way down the page in red text that says "click me"

 

So is it a poblem that the car sounds like its gonna stall in first and second gear?? is there away to fix that?

 

i never had this problem

 

Use some kind of foam with RAAMmat and there is absoluttely no noise from the bracket. I have too many mods on my car and this one has to be one of the very favorite.

 

He is talking about the vibrations on the stiffest setting I assume, Yeh I had that for like the first week or so then I either got use to it or it went away...

 

yea it viberates but its not bad, my top bolt by the strut tower came loose and i just tightened it back down...i rushed to put the thing on since i had work and other things to do the day i installed it ....but other than that its good

oh and if the bolts arent tight enough it will attempt to stall or run a super duper rough idle...which doesnt pose good for the motor since the car is like a bouncing bouncy ball when its like that

 

make sure that you torque it back down to the factory specs to avoid it coming lose.

 

i did , but it still doesnt matter i think i need to get lock tight because of the viberations its going to loosen it over time ...we will see what happens

 

Some pictures of it with powdercoated brackets:

nice

 

looks great!!! How much did you spend getting these powder coated? bump

 

I paid $90 to get valve cover, strut bar and 3 brackets (2 ingalls, one of my own) powdercoated.

 

I clicked on your profile but i dont see the picture, i have the hotchkis strut bar as well but i just wanted to see from the picture how you set it up...

did you put the braket for the dampner under the strut braket? , if you did that wouldn't you have to raise the other side so its even?

 

I was told you cannot use this with the DC strut bar...?

 

You can't unless you extend the strut tower bolts

in the first pic it went ... car>damper bracket>sway bracket...dc wont fit with o.e. suspension and damper bracket...However...

IT will fit a dc with after market suspension that has the longer hardware that is usually 10mm+ just to anticipate a sway bar bracket...

The thread above is fittment on a hotchkis bar...

he uses dynamat on the other side to fill the gap which I would recommend doing under the Ingalls bracket to minimize resonation..

 

rear shock tower brace coming soon...bump

 

Anybody have the Ingalls damper with a Tanabe Sustec Strut Bar? Im also running TRD struts in case that matters in bolt size, just curious if I can fit this mod without issues on my setup. Hows the reviews for Auto TC's ?

 

Well, still no real answers about my setup from Ingalls or CorsportUSA. Ingalls said: "I think it will fit but I want to make sure" but later in the day I got: "the engineer said that there might be a clearance issue with the bar itself". I sent some pictures of my setup to Tai @ CorsportUSA but no response yet. If nobody seems to know I might have to just take a chance, pick one up and inform the community. If it doesn’t in fact fit I may just sell the strut bar if the damper in fact seems to be the better of the two performance improvements.

 

I have the weaponR damper with the Tanabe bar and it fits just fine. I have the damper bracket on top of the strut bar bracket.
